Besides the usual suspects (fast CPU, Memory and Graphics card) switching from a mechanical hard drive to a Solid State Drive (SSD) will help any Windows PC or laptop startup and run faster. Prices for SSDs have dropped dramatically. A moderately fast256 GB SSD (which is still much faster than most if not all mechanical hard drives) costs less than $100.00 at major office supplyand big box electronics stores. Lower prices can be found when online merchants have sales. A 256 GB SSD is perfect for operating system installation in a desktop PC. A larger 2 to 3 TBmechanical hard drive may also be installed for additional program and file storage. While you may currently have a 2 TB hard drive, if you are only using 350GB, I would suggest purchasing a 500 GB SSD and keep the 2 TB as additional storage. Laptops are a bit different since they usually only have 1 storage drive. I would suggest you get a SSD of equal or larger capacity. Install it. and clone the hard drive to the SSD. You will be able to buy an enclosure and use the hard drive for external portable storage.
